Eclipsing Enoch Arden.


An army officer told me a strange story the
other day of a brother officer who graduated with
him from West Point many years ago. Shortly
afterward no married pretty GIRL and for a
time things went smoothly, but John Barleycorn
who has killed more soldiers than have ever
fallen in battle, got the best of him, and he went
to the dogs rapidly. Finally he threw up his DO
sition in the army. deserted his young wife, and
for years nothing WAS heard of him. At last
news came to the poor woman that the worth
less wretch was dead, and after a time she mar
ried another officer, and they moved out to his
station in one of the far Western posts.
In the meantime it seems that her first hus-
band was not dead. but after years of debauch-
cry and wandering reformed. He then began to
make inquiries for the woman he had deserted.
Nothing was known of her, and after long and
fruitless search he was forced to the conclusion
that she had given up the struggle He came
to Washington, where, through the assistance
OF some influential friends. he procured an ap-
pointment in the army. Then. believing him
self free. he married again and took his wife to
the frontier post to which he ordered-the
same at which his first wife was living

VICTOR HUGo's CHOOSES vUEs..
Taileyrand's Brain Dropped in a Sewer
Kings Love Affair.

TaiIeyrand's Brain Dropped in a sewer-A
Kings Love Affair.
Cable to the New York World
The literary event of the week has been the
publication of CHOOSES Vues," by Victor Hugo.
1t is from a manuscript found among his papers
after his death. 1r Is chatty, and consists main
~ of cosby pen sketches of notable men and
incidents which have came under his notice.
The work is so entirely unlike Victor Hugo's
regular writing, that it has attracted great at
tentiop. Nothing in the book is more interest
ing than his recital of what was done with the
brain of the brilliant Taleyrand. who died IN
1888. He says The doctors have embalmed the
corpse. In order to do this, they, after the man
ner of the ancient Egyptians, removed the
bowels and brains. This done, after having
transformed Prince Taleyrand into a mummy
and having nailed it up in coffin, lined with
table the brain-that brain which had thought
SO much, inspired so many men, constructed so
many ambitious edihces, managed two revolu-
tons, deceived twenty kings and held the world
in check. The doctors gone. a servant entered
and saw what they had left. Nos knowing that
it was wanted, and regarding it loathsome
object, he gathered it together and threw it into
the sewer in front of the house.
He gives the following sketch of a chat which
he had with King Louis Philippe: 1.-THE King
said to me one day: Il was never in love but
once in my life And with whom, sireP With
Mime. Geuls.' Bah: she your Maiesty's
preceptress.' The King laughed he said: 1t
is you say, and she was harsh one, too. She
trained my sister and me with absolute ferocity.
We had to rise at 6, summer and winter, and
were fed on milk roast meat and bread; never a
sweet All work, pleasure. 1t was she who
taught me to sleep planks She taught me
enumerable things. Thanks to her. 1 know
little of all trades. 1 a carpenter, mason,
blacksmith, jockey-in fact what you will.
She was systematic aud severe. 1 was always
afraid of her AS a boy was weak, idle and
cowardly. I was afraid of MICE Shs made of
me a resolute man with a heart In growing mp
l perceived that she pretty l did not
know what was the mater with me when 1 was
near her. She compromised and OWNED my
feelings from the first. 1t was at the time when
she had intrigue with Mirabeau. She treated
me very badly. She would say to Mon
sieur de Chartres, you great BOBBY, whv are you
always burrowing against my petticoa' s."
Victor Hugo also describes supper with
noted actresses and mem hers of the demi- monde
which SURPRISES any naturalism of Zola The
book is filed from end to end with interesting
and strong character pictures.
